OK, first things first. My good friends Mimi and Michelle are on a crusade to wipe out childhood cancer. For those of you who are new to my blog, Mimi lost her precious 4 year old, Julian, to cancer only 5 months ago. Check out these videos that Mimi's been slaving away on. She had to make three (in fact, she's working on a fourth one) because there were just so many kids who have battled/are battling cancer. Make sure you have tissues nearby.Video OneVideo TwoVideo ThreeWhen you're done watching these videos, click HERE to sign this petition. I know it takes a couple minutes and it's kind of a pain, but as Mimi says - it could happen to you. In the blink of your eye, you could get that dreaded diagnosis - cancer. As your whole world crumbles away, wouldn't you want someone in your corner, fighting for your child?And God has gifted Michelle with incredible artistic talent and she's putting it to use to raise money for childhood cancer. Check out the link for 4 THE KIDS over to the right there -------------> Michelle is also walking for the kids in her Relay for Life. The link for that is HERE. Thank you for taking the time to check these out and/or donate money and/or pray that a cure is soon found! :)

Dawn i.

I haven’t a clue about what you just said, so here is a rabbit with a pancake on its head.

I try to make my way to you but still I feel so lost I don’t know what to say, what else to do. Don’t give up on me yet, don’t forget who I am I know I’m not there yet, but don’t leave me alone

I don’t know if what I did was right or wrong, guess I will never know. But, I made it, and I guess I should be thankfull for that.

I can explain the "rabbit with a pancake on it's head" one...although I'm wondering exactly who googled it...

There is a message board site that had some drama about a poster who had sort of "stolen" someone else's identity and was using it as her profile. Some other folks decided to "out" her to the board, and in the beginning it was all very weird and disjointed. One of the board administrators posted a picture of a bunny with a pancake sitting on its head and the caption that was googled. It's a pretty small community, so I'm dying to know who googled it and got to you.

Thanks for posting the cancer petition link. Funding and media attention are so important for finding cures. I couldn't view the videos because my daughter is currently battling cancer herself, but I'm sure they are heartwarming.

Actually, the rabbit with the pancake on it's head is from fark.com...I don't know if you've ever read that site but it's hilarious. I seriously recommend going on saturday, known on fark as "caturday", when everybody hauls out their best photoshopped and captioned cat pictures. Basically the rabbit picture is posted whenever anybody says anything stupid or completely off-subject. I don't know to what cakeburnett is referring to, but whoever posted it on that site got it originally from fark.

Now that that's done, I have to say that you're my hero, and I love reading your blog!

Dawn, I didn't know how else to contact you to ask would you possibly link to this digital scrapkit on behalf of 2 children, Abbey & Declan, who have been abused by their parents.http://babyvdezign.com/abuse/abdec.html

Your google keyword searches are always so hilarious. Mine are always so boring. *sigh* I'm sure hearing one more person whining about a little trivial thing is probably just what you need in your life, huh? :)

Hey Dawn! My husband says he's so glad I found you. Something about me not ever laughing before...anyway, my FIL sent me this e-mail. I literally had to stop and catch my breath between paragraphs I laughed so hard. Seeing as you recently had a bunch of check-ups, I thought you'd enjoy it as well!http://tater36.blogspot.com/2008/05/dave-barrys-colonoscopy-journal.html-Kim

And umm..my first grader puts things like dirt and grass in her backpack. When questioned as to why she had handfuls of grass in her backpack, she answered, "Cause I picked it." Oh. Makes perfect sense now. Stupid me.

and in all honesty, i have quite a few more...go to my blog and i have a list on the side, that i need to update with a few more...i go through blogs i like, click on the comenters links and read away, if i like it, i add it to my favs and put it on my blog...

I love your blog and am a faithful reader! Can I please copy and paste your friend's cancer videos and petion into my blog (as well as your intro to this piece? I would love to help get word out. Of course I will give you credit link back to your blog.

hey dawn,you said that your migraines stopped coming after you had kids? as in, all of the sudden or did they gradually die down, or just take physical form? lol, just kidding, i know you love them. the kids, not headaches...

Are we sure they are searching for Dirty Dancing videos, or are they seriously talking about a disease? Do they have diseased women lying on You Tube? Maybe they need to search for more misheard lyrics.

So so funny. I can only hope that one day I get just one lovely google search like that. But maybe I need to change what I'm posting about. More about bodily functions and annoying children's songs! ;)

I may not be a parent yet, but your blog has been a great source of entertainment for me. I first came across your blog when searching for pokeman cards, but to my dismay it was an old auction. Any hoots, You're blog's the best.
